Bring a Baby: Kick Ass (tbc)
Cinema
Bring a Baby is chance for parents and carers to catch up on DCA's films. You can bring your buggies and prams into the cinema and we provide changing mats too. Screenings are exclusively for adults with a baby who is 15 months or under. No more than two adults per baby, please. DCA is one of Dundee's most baby friendly places - we welcome breast feeding mothers, can warm up a bottle for you, provide baby changing facilities and we'll even help you park your pram in the cinema.
Based on the comic book series created by Scotsman Mark Millar and John Romita Jr, Kick-Ass is a wildly irreverent and very welcome addition to a superhero genre which was starting to take itself so seriously. It has everything you’d want from a traditional comicbook adaptation but it also has a wicked foul-mouthed sense of humour.
Dave (Aaron Johnson – last seen as John Lennon in Nowhere Boy) is a typical high school nerd who loves comic books and can’t manage to get anywhere with the girls in his class. Putting on a home-made green costume, Dave calls himself Kick-Ass and sets off on a journey to become a superhero. The problem is, without any super-powers to speak of, he really isn’t very good. And he isn’t the only vigilante show in town – the father and daughter team of Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage – a life long comic book fan) and Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz) are already trying to bring down a mafia boss (Mark Strong) and his son Red Mist (Chris Mintz- Plasse). Let the mayhem begin...
Director Mathew Vaughn, responsible for the British gangster film Layer Cake but also for the charming fantasy film Stardust, had the perfect track record to deliver this film. Violent and vulgar with lots of action, loads of laughs, and a superb soundtrack, Kick-Ass is destined to become a cult classic. See it here first.
